FAQPage Schema
How do I manage Linear issues from the terminal?▼

Yes, terminal-based Linear issue management operates entirely within your command line environment to perform project management tasks. It uses the public GraphQL API to search, inspect, and update issues without requiring complex MCP servers.

Do I need an API key to track Linear issues via command line?▼

Yes, tracking Linear issues via command line requires a valid Linear API key or OAuth token for authenticated network requests. You also need Python 3.8 or later installed in your environment to execute the management scripts.

Can I query Linear projects and cycles without leaving the terminal?▼

You can query team-specific Linear projects and cycles directly in the terminal to maintain visibility into ongoing work. The skill queries this data through the public GraphQL API and outputs results like JSON for quick discovery.

What is the best way to update Linear issue status from a command line interface?▼

The best way to update Linear issue status from a command line interface is using a skill with built-in safety gates and dry-run previews. It performs confirmed mutations on your workflow state, ensuring predictable and safe project management updates.

Are there limitations to automating Linear project management in terminal environments?▼

Automating Linear project management in terminal environments is limited to bounded reads and confirmed mutations on project data via the GraphQL API. It is designed for routine management tasks, eliminating the need for heavy integrations rather than replacing the full web interface.
